Big Railroad Blues

Ohio Theatre

Just about as good as this song ever got. Just the right tempo and mix. Keith was adding some delightful honkytonk piano, and he was just a month in!

Perfect tempo and playing on this 71 version from a really good halloween show.

An energetic, well mixed 71Bertha that's been missed somehow. Keth had been in the band for only a month but already fitting in very well.

Strand Lyceum

An almost forgotten Jed! This is well played and well recorded. Pig even plays organ on this one. Suprising ommision from such a stellar show!

NY State Pavilion, Flushing Meadow Park

The drummers are fired up on this one. Even T.Cs joining in on this energetic version. This gets an Allman Brothers flavor at times.

Jerry's voice isn't in the beat condition here, but he was singing with confidence and passion.
Samson and Delilah

Melkweg

Good energetic version from a European tour that doesn't get nearly as much attention as 72. This one is well worth a listen!
St. Stephen

Community Theatre

Good 68 version & a tight T11. To bad they only played 3 songs & almost a half an hour of Drums.

Frost Amphitheatre

^^ This is a very good version. Jerry's vocals and guitar playing are strong. Good vocal harmonies too. Brent's organ work is very nice on this one.
The Eleven

Fillmore West

^^ Controlled chaos, just what you would want at a 69 Fillmore show!
